"His Majesty say, you eat him Ju-Ju yours greatest Ju-Ju, he want to sign treaty." But Peters, waving the empty can over his head, shouted: "I've eaten jam, I've eaten jam! It's pineapple and I don't care!" A Suburban Story By CHARLTON LAWRENCE EDHOLM "H'everybody works but Fadher, H'and 'e sets 'round h'all diy "
The introduction of the Fetish Boofima into the country of the Imperi is an interesting point as it shows that these different tribes have the same big ju-ju. Similarly, Calabar Egbo can go into Okyon, and will be respected in some of the New Calabar districts, but not at Brass, where the secret society is a distinct cult.
"There's not much doubt Montgomery got somebody to put Ju-Ju on them; bribed a magician to frighten them by a trick. Since they're a superstitious lot, I reckon we can't hire another gang in this neighborhood. However, now he's stopped our coal, you'll have to go to Sar Leone, and may pick up some British Kroos about the port." "Then I'd better go soon," said Lister.
Before a week was through up came another chap to tackle me. He spoke flatly about pains and penalties if I didn't give the thing up; and he offered money or rather ivory, two fine tusks of it, worth a matter of twenty pounds, as a ransom and then I began to open my eyes." "Twenty pounds for that ju-ju! Why, I've picked up many a one better carved for a shilling."
He made more ju-ju of greater power, but again in vain, and then he made the greatest ju-ju man can make, and it availed nought, and he knew he was dying; and so, with his remaining strength, he broke up and dishonoured and destroyed all the Fetishes in which the spirits lived, and cast them out into the surf and died like a man.
"That's right, Aunt Ju-ju, argue it out!" she advised. Miss Trueman winced. She had never accustomed herself to those senseless monosyllables that parodied her name; nor could she understand the frame of mind that found them preferable to the comfortable "Aunt Jule" of the old days. "Ju-ju!"
But he recovered his balance, and though he never regained his old ascendency, which had been that of a Ju-ju, he was able to feel himself, as he said, "Master in his own house," with a very real reserve of terrorism if it should be wanted. The great thing, Macartney thought, was discipline, constant, watchful discipline. A man must bend everything to that.
One elephant hunt I chanced upon at the final stage had taken two months' preparation, and although the plan sounds safe enough, there is really a good deal of danger left in it with all the drugging and ju-ju. There were eight elephants killed that day, but three burst through everything, sending energetic spectators flying, and squashing two men and a baby as flat as botanical specimens.
Often a neighbouring district will send into Calabar, or Brass, where the big ju-ju is, and ask to have one sent up into their district to keep order, but Egbo will occasionally be sent into a district without that district in the least wanting it; but, as in the Imperi case, when it is there it is supreme. But say, for example, you were to send Egbo round from Calabar to Cameroon.
I have to tell you something that will simply knock you all out of time." Suddenly the sniffing bundle in the corner became articulate. "I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it I hate him oh, Ju-Ju, if you had not treated me so last night, I would never have done it, never, never, never." "I know," he replied, "but it was not my fault leaving you like that. I had to go.
